This fully online OIA Mini-Course will explore the principles of effective course design and help identify the critical components that build the foundation for creating courses of any length as well as for transforming a course from in-person to fully online, or from 16 to 5 weeks. Participants will develop the knowledge, tools, and practice to perform a systematic application of effective course design to their own teaching. This will include developing measurable objectives/outcomes and planning core assignments and activities for effective learning.

Please expect to spend 1-2 hours per day to complete assignments. Optionally, participants are invited to work on a full course (re-)design process and get feedback on their plans and syllabi.
